MCAT verbal tips

for those of you who've run across any good mcat verbal practice books, please post here. my verbal score is the reason why i have to go thru hell again, so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

i got two tips: 1) pray every night 2)go to ur school libary and pick up journals that u would never read and read them for 2 hours a day at least until the exam. good luck and dont panic the last few minutes of the veral section. every point counts. GOOD LUCK!!!

Exam Krackers all the way. Verbal stratergy is straight forward and effective. Book is cheap too cost like $12-15. Anyway check out their site <a href="http://www.examkrackers.com" target="_blank">http://www.examkrackers.com</a> , they have some good info.

Thats kind of weird that you are left handed (I think so by your quote) and having trouble with the verbal section. I too am left handed and all of my life I have always had trouble with those kinds of reading comprehension things. I score really high on most tests I take, but the reading comprehension scores usually come out bad. I read something a while back that said that although left handers only make up 10% of the population in the US, they make up over 50% of the remedial reading classes in the nation. Its not because they are stupid or anything, in fact they tend to score higher then average on other straight forward tests. Its just the reading that seems to be a problem. Strange phenomenon, I wonder why.

the lessons are really brief. you can get through the book in like 15 minutes if you tried (without doing the practice problems). maybe you can find a bookstore that has it and can take a look while in the bookstore. although i haven't seen a bookstore with a physical store that carries it.
